Disclosed are novel spiro derivatives and their medical uses, especially as adhesion molecule inhibitors useful for therapies of inflammatory diseases. The spiro derivative according to the present invention has the chemical structure, for example, represented by the following Formula (31):

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel spiro derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, useful as an adhesion molecule inhibitor, especially VLA-4 inhibitor, to an adhesion molecule inhibitor, especially VLA-4 inhibitor, containing the same, and to a therapeutic agent against inflammatory diseases containing the same.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Adhesion molecules participate in adhesion between cells and cells, and between cells and cell matrix. Adhesion molecules include a number of families such as integrin family and immunoglobulin super family. The adhesion molecules belonging to integrin family are those expressed on leukocytes such as lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils and eosinophils. These adhesion molecules have heterodimer structure, in which an a chain and a β chain are non-covalently bound, and are classified into some subfamilies depending on the species of the β chain. VLA-4 (very late antigen-4) also called α4β1 or CD49d/CD29, a member of the integrin family, participates in the interactions between leukocytes and vascular endothelial cells or extracellular matrix, and participates in infiltration of leukocytes into inflammatory site. VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) and fibronectin are known as the adhesion molecules which interact with VLA-4.

[0003] The binding site on fibronectin, which binds to VLA-4 is a fibronectin fragment called CS-1. It has been reported that the minimum unit required for the binding in this fragment consists of 3 amino acid residues, that is, Leucine-Aspartic acid-Valine.

[0004] Linear or cyclic peptidic VLA-4 adhesion inhibitor compounds based on the 3 amino acid residues, Leucine-Aspartic acid-Valine have been reported (WO/15973).

[0005] On the other hand, it is known that the expression level of VCAM-1 which is another adhesion molecule that also interacts with VLA-4, is increased by stimulation by a cytokine such as IL-1, TNF-α or IL-4, and that VCAM-1 interacts with VLA-4 existing on cells such as lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes and eosinophils. VLA-4 and VCAM-1 participate in the infiltration of leukocytes into inflammatory sites through blood vessels. From this view point, the interaction between VLA-4 and VCAM-1 is very important in inflammatory reaction.

[0006] Among the adhesion molecules, VCAM-1 belongs to the immunoglobulin super family, and 7-Ig-like-domain VCAM-1 and 6-Ig-like-domain VCAM-1 are known. Mutation experiments of VCAM-1 revealed that the binding sites on VCAM-1 for binding to VLA-4 are located in domain 1 and domain 4, and that the amino acid sequence of glutamine-isoleucine-aspartic acid-serine-proline on the CD loop is important for the binding to VLA-4 (e.g., J.Cell Biol., 124, 601(1994)). J. H. WANG et al. reported a cyclic peptide Cys*GlnIleAspSerProCys* (Cys*Cys* represents disulfide bond) which has an inhibitory activity against adhesion of VLA-4, which cyclic peptide is based on the glutamine-isoleucine-aspartic acid-serine-proline (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 92, 5714 (1995)). Low molecular compounds having VLA-4-inhibitory activity have also been reported (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,573, U.S. Pat. No. 5,821,231 and WO99/6436).

[0007] The fact that VLA-4 plays an important role in inflammatory reaction has been proved by experiments using anti-VLA-4 antibody in animal models such as contact hypersensitivity, delayed type hypersensitivity models (mouse and rat), experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis models (mouse and rat), nephrotic nephritis (rat), passive cutaneous anaphylaxis model (guinea pig), immunocomplex-induced pulmonary injury model (rat), spontaneous colitis model (monkey), asthma model (sheep) and adjuvant arthritis model.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0008] It has been proved that the cause of development of chronic inflammatory diseases such as allergic inflammation and chronic rheumatoid arthritis is the repetition of accumulation of leukocytes at the inflammatory site. However, as the drugs for the therapies of these diseases, drugs having activities to inhibit actions of chemical mediators, drugs having activities to inhibit production of chemical mediators, and drugs having activities to inhibit production of active oxygen are conventionally used. Drugs which inhibit activation of leukocytes, such as steroid drugs, are also used. Since these drugs do not have an activity to inhibit accumulation of leukocytes to the inflammatory site as their main actions, they cannot inhibit development of inflammation. In contrast, since adhesion molecules VLA-4 and VCAM-1 mainly participate in the process of accumulation of the leukocytes to the inflammatory site, a novel compound having an activity to inhibit the adhesion of VLA-4 and VCAM-1 is thought to inhibit the accumulation of the leukocytes to the inflammatory site. Thus, the probability that such a compound is an effective therapeutic drug against the above-mentioned diseases is high.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to discover a compound which inhibits cell infiltration via adhesion molecules, especially, adhesion molecule VLA-4, thereby making it possible to prevent and cure inflammatory diseases caused by infiltration of leukocytes such as monocytes, lymphocytes and eosinophils.

[0010] The present inventors intensively studied to discover that specific novel spiro derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have activities to inhibit cell adhesion via adhesion molecules, especially adhesion molecule VLA-4, thereby completing the present invention.

[0141] The processes for producing the compounds represented by Formula I (hereinafter, for example, “the compounds represented by Formula I” may also be indicated simply as “Formula I”) will now be described. However, the process for producing each of the compounds is not restricted to that described herein. In the various production processes, the reaction conditions may be appropriately selected from those described below.

[0142] Among the compounds represented by Formula I, those wherein l=0, m=1, n=1, A is a carbon atom, B is a nitrogen atom, C′ and D cooperatively form carbonyl, F is —C(O)—, R₁ and R₂ are hydrogen atoms, and R₃, A and R₄ cooperatively form Formula VI, that is, those represented by Formula VIII, or cooperatively form Formula VII, that is, those represented by Formula IX, or A is an oxygen atom, that is, those represented by Formula X:

[0143] (wherein X₁, X₂, Y₁, Y₂, R₄, R₅ and R₁₁ represent the same meanings as described above) may be produced by hydrolyzing Formula XI, XII or XIII:

[0144] (wherein X₁, X₂, Y₁, Y₂, R₄, R₅ and R₁₁ represent the same meanings as described above) by a base such as aqueous sodium hydroxide solution or aqueous barium hydroxide solution in an alcoholic solvent such as methanol. The hydrolysis by the base such as aqueous sodium hydroxide solution or aqueous barium hydroxide solution may usually be carried out at about 0° C. to room temperature for about 1 hour to 24 hours, although the reaction conditions are not restricted thereto. The amount of the base to be added is not restricted, and may usually be about 1 to 4 equivalents with respect to Formula XI, XII or XIII.

[0145] Formula XI, XII and XIII may be produced from Formula XIV, XV and XVI:

[0146] (wherein X₂, Y₂, R₄, and R₁₁ represent the same meanings as described above, Z₁ represents chloro, bromo or hydroxyl), respectively, and Formula XVII:

[0147] (wherein X₁, Y₁ and R₅ represent the same meanings as described above).

[0148] In cases where one represented by Formula XIV wherein Z₁ is chloro or bromo, or one represented by Formula XVI is used, the desired product may be produced by reacting Formula XIV or Formula XVI with Formula XVII in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, chloroform, dichloromethane or 1,4-dioxane in the presence of a tertiary amine such as triethylamine or diisopropylamine. The reaction between Formula XIV or XVI and XVII may usually be carried out at about 0° C. to room temperature for about 1 hour to 24 hours, although the reaction conditions are not restricted thereto. The mixing ratio (molar ratio; unless otherwise specified, the term “mixing ratio” means molar ratio in the description below) of Formula XIV or XVI to Formula XVII may be, although not restricted, about 1:1 to 2:1, and the amount of the tertiary amine to be added is, although not restricted, about 1 to 4 equivalents with respect to Formula XIV or XVI.

[0149] In cases where a compound of Formula XIV wherein Z₁ is hydroxyl, or Formula XV is used, usually, a condensing agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dicyclopentylamino)phosphoniumhexafluoro phosphite salt (PyBOP), benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphoniumhexafluoro phosphite salt (BOP), diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) or 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino))propyl]carbodiimide (WSC) is used in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, chloroform or dichloromethane in the presence of a tertiary amine such as triethylamine, diisopropylamine or N-methylmorpholine. The amount of such a condensing agent to be added is not restricted, and usually about 1 to 3 equivalents with respect to Formula XIV or XV. Addition of an additive such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) may be advantageous in the proceeding of the reaction in some cases.

[0150] Formula XI, XII and XIII may also be produced by treating Formula XVIII

[0151] (wherein X₁, Y₁, and R₅ represent the same meanings as described above)

[0152] with usually 0.5 to 2 equivalents of diphosgene, triphosgene, 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole or the like in a solvent such as dichloromethane or chloroform, in the presence of a tertiary amine such as triethylamine or diisopropylamine, and by reacting the obtained product with Formula XX, XXI and XXII, respectively. The mixing ratio of Formula XVIII to Formula XX, XXI or XXII may usually be, although not restricted, about 1:1 to 2:1, and the reaction may usually be carried out at about 0° C. to room temperature for about 1 hour to 24 hours. The amount of the tertiary amine is not restricted, and is usually about 1 to 4 equivalents with respect to diphosgene, triphosgene or 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole. Alternatively, the desired product may be obtained by reacting Formula XX, XXI or XXII with Formula XIX in a solvent such as dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran or dimethoxyethane at about 0° C. to room temperature for about 1 to 24 hours. The mixing ratio of Formula XX, XXI or XXII to XIX is not restricted, and usually about 1:1 to 1:3. Alternatively, the desired product may be obtained by reacting Formula XX, XXI or XXII with p-nitrophenyl chloroformate or phenyl chloroformate in a solvent such as acetonitrile, dichloromethane or dimethoxyethane, in the presence of a base such as sodium hydrogen carbonate or tribenzylamine (first step); and then reacting the obtained product with Formula XVIII in a solvent such as acetonitrile, dichloromethane or dimethoxyethane, in the presence of a tertiary amine such as triethylamine or diisopropylamine (second step). In this method, the amount of the base such as sodium hydrogen carbonate or tribenzylamine used in the reaction is not restricted, and usually about 1 to 4 equivalents with respect to p-nitrophenyl chloroformate or phenyl chloroformate. The amount of the tertiary amine to be added is not restricted, and usually about 1 to 4 equivalents with respect to Formula XVIII.

[0153] In the first step, the reaction temperature of the reaction between Formula XX, XXI or XXII and p-nitrophenyl chloroformate or phenyl chloroformate is not restricted, and usually about 0° C. to room temperature. The reaction temperature in the second step may usually be about 0° C. to 50° C. when p-nitrophenyl chloroformate is used, and may usually be about room temperature to refluxing temperature when phenyl chloroformate is used.

[0154] Formula XVII may be produced by the following steps:

[0155] (wherein X₁, Y₁ and R₅ represent the same meanings as described above).

[0156] Step 1 may be carried out in the same manner as in the reaction between Formula XVIII or XIX and XX, XXI or XXII.

[0157] Step 2 is the step of removing t-butoxycarbonyl group (referred to as “Boc” for short) on the nitrogen atom.

EXAMPLE 51 Inhibitory Effect by Compounds Against Binding between CS-1 Peptide and VLA-4-IgG Chimera Protein

[0342] In accordance with the teaching of a report (Humphrise, M. J. et al. J.Bio.Chem.,262,6886-6892(1987)), a conjugate between a peptide (Gys Leu His Gly Pro Glu Glu Ile Leu Asp Val Pro Ser Thr) containing CS-1 sequence and rabbit IgG (Sigma) was prepared. This was diluted with phosphate buffer (hereinafter referred to as “PBS(-)” for short), and the obtained solution was placed in the wells of a 96-well immunoplate (NUNC) in an amount of 100 μl/well, followed by leaving to stand the immunoplate at 4° C. for 16 hours to immobilize the conjugate.

[0343] The wells were then washed twice with PBS(-), and 1% BSA solution in PBS, which BSA was heated at 80° C. for 10 minutes, was placed in each well in an amount of 300 μl/well. The immunoplate was left to stand at 4° C. for 3 hours, and then the solution in each well was removed by suction.

[0344] Each compound and VLA-4-IgG chimera protein (100 μl) were preliminarily reacted at room temperature for 20 minutes, and then the resulting mixture was allowed to react with the CS-1peptide in each well at 30° C. for 3 hours. Thereafter, non-bound VLA-4-IgG chimera protein was removed by suction, and each well was washed twice with 0.1% BSA-containing TBS buffer (150 mM NaCl, 25 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM MnCl₂, PH7.4). To the bound VLA-4-IgG chimera protein, biotin-labelled anti-human IgG antibody (Vector) as a primary antibody was added, and then avidin-labelled horse radish peroxidase (Sigma) as a secondary antibody was added, thereby allowing the reactions. Then o-phenylenediamine as a substrate was added to color the reaction solution, and the absorbance at 490 nm was measured. From this absorbance, the binding inhibitory activity of each compound was determined. The inhibitory activities of the representative compounds are shown in Table 1.
